posix::basic_stream_descriptor::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)

Inherited from posix::basic_descriptor.

Gets the non-blocking mode of the native descriptor implementation.

bool native_non_blocking() const;

This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native descriptor. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the descriptor object's synchronous operations.

Return Value

true if the underlying descriptor is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with boost::asio::error::would_block (or the equivalent system error).

Remarks

The current non-blocking mode is cached by the descriptor object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native descriptor.
